Single-Stage Frontal Sinus Obliteration: Bone Graft Plastic Repair

Demineralized Bone Matrix and Fat Autograft in a Rabbit Model of Frontal Sinus Obliteration

“…6 The ideal obliterative material remains elusive. In the past, autologous tissues such as fat, 1-4 muscle, [7][8][9][10] pericranial flaps, 11 and cancellous bone [12][13][14][15] have all been used, but most of these grafts also require a second surgical site. Long-term follow-up has also shown the resorption of some autologous tissue and recurrence of frontal sinus disease as was initially suggested by Owens and Klotch.…”

Comparison of Fast-Setting Calcium Phosphate Bone Cement and Fat Autograft in a Rabbit Model of Frontal Sinus Obliteration

“…The optimal material is a compound with osseointegrative properties and low immune reactivity that is easily available, relatively costless, and durable. In the past, autologous tissues such as fat, 1,6-9 muscle, [12][13][14][15] pericra-nial flaps, 16 and cancellous bone [17][18][19][20] have all been used, but most of these grafts require a second surgical site. Long-term follow-up also has shown the resorption of some autologous tissue and recurrence of frontal sinus disease as was initially suggested by Owens and Klotch.…”
